I’m using mostly ubuntu and all my images are set to “single disk, resizable” .

the order you should go in short:

on the desktop pc:
setup the desktop you want to clone
enable pxe boot in the bios of your desktop pc

on the fog server (gui):
create new image (single disk, resizable) (image management)
register host pc with the server(there are multiple ways to to that, check the wiki )
assign your created image with the entry of the desktop pc (select host image in host management)
click on capture image at the entry of your desktop pc
if you don’t run the fog client on the desktop pc, you should reboot your pc so it does the magic

deploy a image:
is mostly the same as above: create new host, assign image, click on deploy.

you should also look for the “fog client” - running it on the desktop pc is very usefull!

I hope I did not forget anything.

@george1421 I don’t have any windows computers in my network. but i can ping (normal ping, not icmp) the ubuntu clients over the terminal of the fog host by the short name “pool-05” or by the IP, both successfull.

if I ping a pool pc from the server using “nc -zvv <ip_addr> 445” I also get connection refused.

root@fog:/home/admin# nc -zvv IP 445
pool-14.domain [IP] 445 (microsoft-ds) : Connection refused
 sent 0, rcvd 0

Does your testing mean, that, if I install samba at my hosts, the ping would work?

I testet it installing samba and libnss-winbind and configured the file /etc/nsswitch.conf
from

hosts:      files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns 

to

hosts:      files wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns 

now the output looks like this:

root@fog:/home/admin# nc -zvv IP 445
pool-14.domain [IP] 445 (microsoft-ds) open
 sent 0, rcvd 0

but the hosts list still returns an error “connection timed out”

Maybe, in a new version of fog, maybe the process of pinging using icmp can be changed to a normal ping to be more variable for linux hosts? that would be great.

I will also try the steps postet by @Tom-Elliott and write back if anything changes.

@Tom-Elliott yes, I can confirm this - I don’t have to enable the ports, but I want to. I like this feature very much and it would be sad If I won’t be able to use it.

The problem with my setup is that it says “connection refused” although I enabled the port 445 both on the server and the host via ufw firewall.

Server OS is the latest debian 8 and Client OS is the latest Ubuntu 16.04 Maybe anyone has some ideas. Thanks in advance. :))

@Tom-Elliott do you have any idea what I can try to fix this except opening the port on the host?

@Tom-Elliott Is this the same port for linux, like ubuntu 16.04 or debian 8? I also have the connection time out issue in the host menue.

If i enable the ufw firewall on ubutu and allow the port 445, the status changes from “connection timeout” to “connection refused”

I allowed these ports. (22 for ssh, 445 for the fog ping)

To                         Action      From
--                         ------      ----
22                         ALLOW IN    Anywhere                  
445                        ALLOW IN    Anywhere                                  
22 (v6)                    ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)             
445 (v6)                   ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6) ```

@george1421 thanks for the fast answer!

@Joe-Schmitt thank you I finally found a little mistake that crashed everything, so now it runs perfectly. this can be marked as solved. thanks again for all your help!

is it also possible to change the links on the web ui, so the links, e.g.

/fog/management/index.php?node=host

can be changed to

/fog/management/index.php?node=host&sub=list

so it immediately shows all hosts if i click on the hosts button?

well, I have to ask another question - My Snapin does not work correctly. If I start it manually on the host pc, everything works fine. but If i run it with the fog client, it does not work. the snapin history of the client says:

joindomain	2017-03-15 10:22:44	Complete	30 seconds	0

so no error code. that’s fine I guess. I read in your wiki, that the script is run by the user root or SYSTEM and that there may be some issues with the security, but I really can’t find out where or what the issues could be.

here are my snapin settings:
Name joindomain
Type Snapin Pack
Pack Template - please select an option -
Pack File /bin/bash
Pack Arguments “[FOG_SNAPIN_PATH]/joindomain.sh”
Reboot after install checked
Snapin enabled checked
Replicate? checked
Timeout after 600 seconds
Snapin Command /bin/bash “[FOG_SNAPIN_PATH]/joindomain.sh”

the fog client log says the following -
so also everything seems to be fine. what else can I consider?

@Joe-Schmitt snapins now work perfectly! thanks a lot!

Now i just have to do some settings on my custom snapin - but I will do this tomorrow, its already late here in germany. Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it!

@Joe-Schmitt I will try it. If it works now you are my new personal god!

I will also post my solution to joining ubuntu to the active directory with the snapin / bash file / keytab if it works all properly in the next days. I hope this will help other users until there is a solution directly via fog for linux.

@mlimburn have you read this thread? maybe it is helpful.
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6378/changing-ip-address-post-fog-install-is-problematic/27
there is provided a script that does a lot of ip changing, maybe using this script will get everything right and fix maybe forgotten entrys.

@Joe-Schmitt the installation logfile “SmartInstaller.log” says:

@Joe-Schmitt I also had to run a sudo apt-get autoremove because of some error codes related to different mono versions. Now it is installing mono version 4.2.1.

mono --version output: Mono JIT compiler version 4.2.1 (Debian 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-7ubuntu4)

after rerunning the SmartInstaller.exe with mono I still have FOGService active (exited)

@Joe-Schmitt if I try those commands it always says SELinux is disabled.

@Joe-Schmitt I could need a little help on that. How do I set SELinux to permissive?

I removing the FOGService and installing it again doesn’t help.

edit: I checked an my selinux is set to diabled?

@Joe-Schmitt I’m running mono version 4.8.0 (Stable 4.8.0.495/e4a3cf3 Web Feb 22 18:30:58 UTC 2017) so my version is better than the required version of 4.2.x.

I used the following commands:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
sudo apt-get install xprintidle
sudo mono SmartInstaller.exe

So you said I should try installing the client not using sudo … but changing to root before using the commands? So at least do the mono thing as root?

I found out by myself that changing the ip adress after the installation is a lot of trouble. do you have the possibility to setup a new server with the correct ip adress? this is way easier.

otherwise it would be helpful if you would tell us wich steps you were following.

greetings

I will try that and write back if I have any issues. Thanks!

edit: I have configured a snapin pack (joindomain.sh and my keytab file) and specified the path to the executable. so far it looks quite good, but now I have another problem - my fog client on the client system (ubuntu 16.04) always starts as active (exited). restarting the service does not help changing this. because of that my snapins won’t work porperly. any ideas on this?

this is my log file of the client installation:

I installed the client according to the manual for “Debian 8+, Ubuntu 13.10+, and derivatives” from https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client without noticing any error.

any ideas?
